[Mgs] Minilite from minilite.co.uk vs Minilite replica vs Panasport for MGA 1600 MKII

[Pat Harris - "sammler"]

First - if I could find new steel wheels I'd probably go for them ;-)

If someone has advice or warnings about purchasing the Minilite replica 
wheel please let me know.

Minilite in England <http://minilite.co.uk/>responded with a price quote 
very quickly. $210 per wheel, including lug nuts and hubcap for $210 
plus the freight charge of approximately $50 per wheel.  (The freight 
charge was in two parts -  $40 for the overseas shipping to their 
warehouse in the States and then an $18 shipping fee from there to my 
address in SC.)  Total per wheel - *$258.00*

All prices below were calculated based on the catalog prices and have 
been divided by 4 to obtain a per wheel price.

My favorite seller has the Minilite replica wheel, 4 lug nuts and the 
hubcap for *$193.90* and with the order for all the wheels there would 
be free shipping.  I haven't called them yet to find out if the lug nuts 
are chromed and the hubcap has the MG logo.

Panasport, also from my favorite seller, is *$249.00* per wheel and with 
the order for all the wheels there would be free shipping.  I do 
understand that the Panasport would use a wider tire but I don't know 
that I need/want that.

One of the other major purveyors of nice things for MGs has the Minilite 
replica wheel, 4 chrome lug nuts and the MG logo center cap for $202.22 
plus $9.07 = *$211.29*.  (I took their price for a complete set and 
divide the charges by 4 to arrive a a per wheel price.)

Thanks,
Pat
